No, merging cells causes loss of data. Unmerging cells puts blank cells
where you hadn't noticed them before.

Getting rid of merged cells causes you to lose data. I am using a
template
and didn't merge any cells. didn't even know there were any merged cells
until I had entered ALL the data and tried to sort.

I have a doc that contains both merged and unmerged cells and need to
be able
to sort it alphabetically. When I try, I get a message saying that all
merged cells need to be sized identically. I have tried resizing the
cells,
but this does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?
